CONGRESSMAN’S OFFICE DISPUTES REPORT …
|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy will not seek another term in the U.S. Congress, one of his fellow lawmakers announced this week. However the Congressman’s office moved quickly to dispute the report.
“Trey wants to go back to South Carolina, and God bless him for that,” U.S. Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana said on C-SPAN this week.
Asked if Gowdy had confirmed his intentions to his fellow lawmakers, Fleming said he had.
“At the end of his term, yes,” he said. “He plans to go back home, and he wants to finish his work on the Benghazi special committee. But he loves South Carolina and he loves his family, and he wants to go back and spend the rest of his life there.”
Gowdy’s office told The Greenville News the report was inaccurate, saying the third-term lawmaker was “not planning to leave Congress.”
Gowdy’s spokeswoman Amanda Duvall told FITS the same.
“The Congressman has not made any announcement on 2016, so (Fleming’s report) is incorrect,” Duvall said.
Earlier this week Gowdy was touted as a possible candidate to be the next GOP “majority” leader in connection with U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner‘s impending retirement. He quickly poured cold water on that speculation, though.
It’s no secret Gowdy – elected during the Tea Party wave of 2010 – is unhappy in Washington, D.C. and is looking for an opportunity to return to the Palmetto State.
Earlier this year, FITS reported exclusively on efforts by powerful members of the S.C. General Assembly to court the former prosecutor to become the next chief justice of the S.C. Supreme Court.
We reached out to our sources this week regarding the status of that effort, and were told Gowdy was not only interested in the post but “working hard for it.”
Gowdy’s name has also come up as a possible candidate for governor of South Carolina in 2018 as Nikki Haley is limited by the constitution to serving two consecutive terms.

I heard that on Sean Hannity yesterday.He served this country well destroying Hillary.
Don’t be silly, loser. I’ll get her the job.
Cruz, you’re fired.
Praise the Lord! AMEN!
No, he’ll just hold Planned Parenthood funding hearing…LMAO…He’ll do more damage to you there…
PP is winning in the courts, you guys have a bad understanding of laws and the constitution. You do seem to enjoy a different kind of PP though, as well as PooP, and god knows what else is in your adult diapers.
While FITSNews smothers itself in underwear, and the horse race, so his minions can ignorantly, and irrationally, T-Off on Gowdy…Did any stupid son of liberal bitches see Gowdy Rip out the asshole of that baby-killing skank from Planned parenthood?
Google “Trey Gowdy, Cecile Richards hearing”. OUCH..he slapped that immoral Ho’ upside the head…
FITS dances around, castrating himself, riding the fence, while Gowdy goes after the Devil, with a vengeance. It shows why people want Rep. Gowdy as speaker.
I laugh my ass off..and I see why you hate Gowdy. He Does not play the liberal asskisser…He’s the opposite of FITS and Boehner…
You are correct.That evil ‘skank’ is the daughter of the deceased former drunk and governor of Texas,Ann ‘Ma’ Richards.The apple didn’t fall far from the tree with these two abortion loving witches.
Love Jim Jordan from Ohio.
I hope Gowdy’s ferocious aggressiveness is just the beginning…We’ll FIX this nation w/ more of that…
He asked Richards to defend the films, and she ‘hem..and hawed’..and played Bullshit word games.
I think those videos of what the abortionists are doing have outraged a lot of people. The makers should get Pulitzers…but the newspaper industry will just attack them, because they are not bidding for the Devil liberals…
Yes indeed.The videos have defined the Democrat Party.
LMAO!!! Call the dogs off GT….Rocky has lost his mind….appears to be on a delusional suicide watch….hearing voices and denying reality….:)
“A canceled flight, due to weather, from South Carolina to Washington this morning regrettably prevented me from being in Washington for today’s speaker vote,” Gowdy said in a statement. ”Had our flight not been canceled, I would have voted for our conference nominee, John Boehner.”
Too late to be talking about that Dumbass.. Boehner is GONE. You gone have to find dome other dick to puff on, idiot.
Why would someone who is the “opposite of Boehner” vote for him?
Then I guess you look like a double-motherfucking idiot then. Since You got fucked in the ass over Boehner, and Gowdy is just like, him…your stupid ass lost again, when Gowdy turned down the post…
You’re getting shit slapped out of you daily…you ignorant FUCK…And I’m loving it….
So, you admit that your original assertion that Gowdy is somehow the “anti-Boehner” is false. A fact that is supported by flip’s admission that Gowdy traded his vote for Speaker for a cushy appointment. Well done, GT. There’s hope for you yet
“A fact that is supported by flip’s admission that Gowdy traded his vote for Speaker for a cushy appointment.”
I never posted this liar HOWEVER Gowdy has served his country well getting rid of Hillary.Problem you socialists have is your only other candidate is a socialist! Oh my!!!!!
Go Putin!
Drink vodka? At this hour? That explains a lot buddy. Like threatening to run me over, and what not. Hey, if you’re all liquored up, why not take a drive downtown. I’ll stand on Assembly Street waitin’ for ya!!!

Hurry up Tango. Now’s your big chance. Gonna run me over and smash my pea brain – wasn’t that it? Come on. Waiting. You want me to give my phone to someone to video tape it? Come on big man. What you waiting for? Too drunk to drive this afternoon. Ain’t even 1 p.m. / I know women sailors who hold their liquor better than you.
Just as I thought. Big mouth, no balls.
LMAO!!!! Put the gun away Rocky.I am sure GT is just having some fun.Why so angry? :)
You wish GrandTango would murder some of these people in cold blood don’t you sicko clown
I am sure flip wishes NO ONE any harm.I bet he just finds that you weirdo American hating perverts are thin skinned and PUSSIFIED wimps!
Actually he does wish people harm, so do I, but we are too chickenshit to step outside the trailer park.
GT is hiding. As usual.
Mama, please make the bad guy go away! I’m scaaared!
Jury out on McCarthy however he ravaged Boehner last night in an interview on Hannity and said NO Amnesty or path to citizenship for illegals.Said we had a border security problem.
You’re is already called for by another poster.
Do you have a source and date for that?

need more?
No.That was in January.Old news and not applicable to the current political climate.He felt loyal for this reason:
In May, Boehner tapped Gowdy to lead a House investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Lybia, that left four Americans dead.
Not anymore.
So, his vote was bought with an appointment. Even better.
No.He felt a loyalty to pursue the truth about Obama and Clinton allowing terrorists to kill Americans for political reasons,
An American hating fool like you wouldn’t understand that.Dumb asses like you still blame a video!
Right.
Then why did Boehner ASK Gowdy to run for Majority Leader ?????!!!!!!!
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/09/boehner-secretly-encouraged-gowdy-to-run-for-leader-214256#ixzz3nEYO9gFI
Obama asked Hillary to run for President and is pulling his Muslim prayer rug out from underneath her.WTF? It matters not! Can’t trust Boehner.
I’m shaking my head at these fools, vic.
Fits did a hit job on SC 2014 household income, yesterday. Well,, today the Bureau of Economic Analysis released 2015 Q2 personal income data. SC had 1.1% growth in the quarter — higher than the national rate and 12th highest in the country.
South Carolina has beat the national personal income growth rate four of the last five quarters (shown in this release) and tied on the fifth.

Hey, that good news isn’t for a FITS-approved politician! Get out of here you!
The GOP has it all down. They’re God like.
Currently they have 54 seats in the Senate. They should hold it with 99 seats – right?
Let’s see – Rubio’s seat – Dems leading in the polls. Oh, OK, that’s one. Well, then again, Johnson is loosing in WI, and Portman loosing in OH. OK, that’s three. They’d still have 51 right? What’s that, Duckworth ahead of Kirk near double digits? Woops. That’s 4. Well, at lates Ayotte is safe. What? She’s in a tie? WTF. OK, McCain’s a clear winner. What? Inside the margin of error? What about Colorodo? What? Bennett’s still winning? Holy Gavels Batman – looks like there’s no way we’ll keep the Senate.
Always talking about good it’s gone be, because they are sending you fundraising envelopes from the DNC, telling you. Yet you looked like a Fucking Dumbass, when Hillary tanked…because you swallowed what they fed you, condom and all….LMAO…
Kirk and Johnson in trouble. Rubio seat stays Republican.Ayotte,Portman,McCain are all safe Republican seats. (-2)
Republicans pick up Reids seat with Heck and Bennett MAY go down for ems.(+1 OR 2).
53 Republican seats. NO less than 52.Possibly 52.If Dems don’t win senate in 2016 they may never get it back.
Just keep picking on women and Latinos. I’m sure it will all work out for you.
Hillary’s a woman, and look what the Democrat Party is doing to her. While Carly is soaring, being respected and hailed in the GOP…
And there’s Cruz and Rubio, both Republicans. Why do Democrats hate Latinos, and you have none among your candidates…???
Cruz, that guy who the entire GOP Senate has rejected and won’t even let him talk anymore? That Cruz. The vodka shots are catching up to you.
Cruz is a man like Putin…not an ISIS loving traitor like Obama!
Traitors of a feather stick together, Cruz, Putin, GT have a nice day.
Nice response…just proves he is talking out of his ass…
……and still dreaming…those will turn into nightmares next year or when the realization sinks in…
We love BEAUTIFUL women and LEGAL hispanics!
The vast majority of close seats break the same way. Whoever wins the W.H. will be almost certain to win the Senate.
And Larry Sabato IS a Republican, and always gives the GOP the benefit of any doubt.
False.Larry Sabato,Democrat pollster has it 51-47 with Reid’s and Rubio’s seats leaning Republican.He is the best.53-47 Republicans.House will remain the same,give or take a seat and Republicans will have 34 or 35 governorships.
Your lies are a sign of desperation.
He has been playing this Carnack card for about three months. Early polling is notoriously bad, people have had enough of Obama and his regime. Democrats, unless something holy happens will not have a universally unacceptable leader at the top of the ticket. There are so many bad programs and policy issues out there to tie directly to the Democrats: ObamaCARE, the economy, foreign affairs, immigration. All are upside down in the polls, Rocky is caught up in wishful thinking, that’s what happens when you can’t distinguish fantasy from reality.
He thinks if he just repeats it, one more time, it will become reality.
lol….I feel bad for him…he has thrown Hillary under the bus and supports a candidate that is not even running and fares worse in the polls that she does….thinks John McCain can be defeated in AZ and misses John Boehner.
One lost soul.
Yeah, you got that right, what he blows out his pie hole is of very low quality, but he makes up for that with an enormous quantity.
He is paid well to humor us. :)
The President wants to know how you like the ” New America ” ?
President Putin!!!! Go Putin!!! Kick Obama and his buddies ISIS ass!!!!
Great answer. It is a wonderful day.
He also updates his analysis monthly. Only 14 months to go – eh?
LMAO!!! And it is only gonna get worse for ya! Ask Putin! Oh my!
Putin is exposing the treasonous regime occupying the wH!
You’ve been drinkin’ vodka? This early in the day? What – you put it on your EBT purchased rice puffs?
lol…your NON citizen/illegal mother in law on a government subsidy for Obamacare left her ‘EBT Card’ (most people call em Food Stamps unless they use em!) at the liquor store last night.
You picked it up when you were buying your vodka breakfast?
If Gowdy intends to step down it is to his credit to do so early. Demint put the people through the expense of an election campaign only to resign less than two months later to take million dollar job in DC. That was one case when he was unconcerned about the waste of public money.
I just wonder how much more taxpayer money will the republicans use up for nothing. Same as Iraq and Afgan ? This is the problem in the USA.
as Jimmy said I am dazzled that a single mom can get paid $28273 in four weeks on the internet ……..Easy online work for all. Make $5000 to $9000 per week online.4-5hour daily work………read the full info here

While the usual suspects were enjoying the abuse heaped on Planned Parenthood in the five-hour interruptathon by Chaffetz, Gowdy, Jordan, et.al. this morning, the US Senate passed a bill funding the government through 11 December, with no defunding of Planned Parenthood at 10AM today — by a 78-20 vote. Graham and Rubio did not vote.
Maybe Gowdy can screw around when the House takes this up this afternoon? Stay tooned.
Oh good . . . another “kick the can 2 months down the road” bill. I love those.
Bitch Bitch Bitch….run for public office if you don’t like it!!!
LMAO !!!!!!!
False causality and an ad hominen attack wrapped into one.
Now that requires talent!
I hate to see him go. This is exactly the kind of person that is needed in Washington. One that has not been sweep up into “business as usual syndrome.” His short stay will be well worth it when he gets to the bottom of the business going on with the Clinton’s. I would have loved to see him as “House Majority leader.” Bet he would not have been spending time on a tanning bed and kissing barrack’s ass. (I bet barrack has two left cheeks and no pecker, Michelle carries that around in her purse.)
I am sure he will do a great job at whatever he chooses.
Bullshit………..
I’ve seen how the man acts behind closed doors.
Trey Gowdy is for one thing and that is Trey Gowdy………………
He’s been a piss poor representative but no doubt he is a damn good prosecuitor and it takes an asshole to be a good prosecuitor and Gowdy fits the bill….
I’d never thought I’d say this but…….Bring back Bob Inglis!!!!!!
Although I never voted for Inglis he demonstrated hat he a shit about his constituients not like that introverted cold & weak handshake paste-faced humorless Gowdy.
I’ve seen lawn statues with more personality (with better hair and a healthier color to boot)!!!!!!
Thanks for your input. Opinions are like assholes, most everyone has one.
No way Gowdy is gonna give up that sweet Congressional salary, short work year, and perks.
Who works less than a supreme court judge, state or federal?
There is something different about this man. I wish more were like him.
What’s different ?
He is not a retard like you.
Not a thing.
Hater.Do you abuse your husband?
I abuse mine, but GrandTango likes the punishment! LMAO!!!
I wish we as voters knew, so we could bottle it and replicate it.
Sounds like you know him very well.
Don’t know him at all, but he doesn’t need to be front and center and doesn’t appear to be power hungry. He appears non political.
Is he related to Donald ?
Excellent.Good read.
LMAO
David, Sic Semper Tyrannis need to clean his room and put away his toys. Please check with him later.
I tend not to get tangled in such spider webs as those.
Me either. We definitely are not flip’s alternate accounts too, right buddy?
I believe David is a friend of Boz Martin’s or know of each other in some way?
I should know, I stalk him every day. God I need help. LMAO!!!
please…
If he never ran for office again, then he might be as you say. But when is it unusual for a politician to leave one position to run for a different one?
What a stupid comment.Please don’t run off new contributors with vapid and incoherent comments like that!
They make a living off taxpayers idiot.
So do I, I can’t work, I hurt my big toe. LMAO!!!!!!!
Ok 2 idiots then
You are right sir. We idiots have to stick together, that’s why I support and vote for idiots like me! Gowdy is a special kind of idiot too!
OK 3 idiots then
Just like most medical providers.
Your link was good information. Good to see Gowdy is not into the Koch game. Both know now, this is good for Americans.
Koch? They even support SCOTUS on gay marriage ruling.Why do you people hate people that do so much good?:
The Kochs fund cures and treatments. David Koch survived a 1991 plane crash that killed 34 people, including everyone else in first class. He soon was diagnosed with, and then endured, prostate cancer. These challenges reinforced his passion for medical philanthropy.
Among $506 million in such gifts, his major grants include: $25 million to Houston’s M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to eliminate genitourinary malignancies; $100 million for cancer research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; $100 million for a new ambulatory care center at New York Presbyterian Hospital. This donation actually triggered an outbreak of mental illness among leftists who decried Mr. Koch’s nine-digit check.
“Quality care, not Koch care!” unionized nurses screamed outside Koch’s Park Avenue apartment. Never mind that his contributions create work for unionized nurses.
The Kochs back the arts. Elizabeth B. Koch, Charles‘ wife, launched the Koch Cultural Trust. It has furnished $1.8 million in grants to artists and musicians with ties to Kansas.
David Koch supports PBS’ documentary series Nova. He also is a paleo-philanthropist, having given $15 million to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History for a Hall of Human Origins and another $35 million to update its fossil and dinosaur displays in Washington, D.C. New York’s American Museum of Natural History will enjoy a new Dinosaur Wing, thanks to David’s $20 million gift.
David also donated $100 million in 2008 to modernize the former New York State Theater at Manhattan’s Lincoln Center, home to the New York City Ballet and the New York City Opera.
The Kochs also steward the environment. “Koch Industries, Inc. takes a leadership role in the promotion of biodiversity, wildlife habitat enhancement, land restoration and conservation education,” according to Wildlife Habitat Council president Robert Johnson. “Koch and its subsidiaries maintain Council-certified programs at 10 facilities throughout the United States,” including Montana’s 300,000-acre Matador Cattle Company Beaverhead Ranch.
Flint Hills Resources (a Koch company) helps Ducks Unlimited maintain 36,000 acres of waterfowl habitat on 116 Minnesota lakes. Thus, Ducks Unlimited gave the company its Emerald Teal Award.
They don’t belong in government numbnut. They should run for office if they want to control it. LMAO !
Oh.So it is okay for the taxpayers to fund Planned Parenthood and then that money goes 100% to fund Democrat Party candidates and issues?
Yes to your stupidity.
liar
You know Boz? lol…
Bullshit…….
Gowdy is out for one thing and that is Trey Gowdy………….
I’ve seen how he acts behind closed doors…………..
Say around the time that McCain was running for prez in South Carolina the second time around…………
Good take on ol’ Trey. He makes a good orator or interrogator, but not much else. He might want to take a stab at governor, another job where yakking is about the only skill necessary.
Very true.A Godly man with a sense of decency and loyalty to those he serves.
You mean the selective ones.
Trey Gowdy cares for only one thing and that is Trey Gowdy
So asses like Gowdy are who you want more of??????
Gowdy’s a damn good prosecuitor but he sucks as a representative for the people of the 4th Congressional District of South Carolina
Gowdy ain’t done jack shit on tax reform, infrastructure (the dude wouldn’t know the difference between a span bridge and a suspension bridge) or damn near anything else that REALLY benefits the people in his district EXCEPT kiss the asses of tea baggers
He realized he is better than the party. Proberly will be a democratic nominee for SC gov in the next election.
Damn…that is a sure loser…
I differ, so many love him here, a shoe in .
Please come home and run for Governor!
WOW, finally Benghazi is over. The Koch’s blew another .5 Bill. And taxpayers can rejoice. Got to give em credit.
Check on Rocky.He appears unstable today.You have demonstrated that you are habitually unstable yet show up everyday with your lunch box and never fail to prove yourself to be an uninformed idiot.
Help Rocky thru this.If you can do it, he can as well.
People have bad days sometime. We call it normal. Yours are everyday, loser !
Why do the same posters use all these different accounts? Now I like to goof and play an immature troll as the next poster, but holy shit you guys take it to an unreal level.
Another career politician sucking at the teats of government. Hypocrite and hardly surprising.
Yo…Trey…Trey…so you’re going away?…well after you and
I-Lie-To-Conservatives-Joe Wilson voted FOR John Boehner let us say
Don’t be packing lotsa bags and doing heavy lifting to ah go
because in the elections of 2016 we’ll help ALL of you RINOs to…go away !!!
One of the people on the panel questioning Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards was silent, yielding up his time so others could talk over Richards’ responses.
Maybe Rep. Scott DesJarlais’ (R-TN) lacked confidence in Planned Parenthood’s commitment to patient confidentiality. I doubt that DesJarlais’ wife and mistress both had their abortions at Planned Parenthood, but if they did, they can be sure that PP will never blab.

He will stay long enough to run up a nice federal retirement pension to add to his state retirement pension…and that’s why he probably wants to be on the SC supreme court since judges – for some insane reason – get nearly 100% of their excessive salary in retirement benefits.
He may be leaving because, ultimately, he embarrassed even himself over his persecution of Hillary for Bengazi, while realizing that George W Bush “virtually” murdered tens of thousands of Iraquies, Afgans, and U S military personnel, and wrecked the U S economy for millions of average Americans. Such a thing would make me sick and want to Run Away too.
So Gowdy does the three and out and keeps that promise. Hmm… keeps that promise, not usual for DC.
